Abstract Uganda is often seen as an African show case for the beneficial effectsof structural adjustment. High growth rates have been combined with ahigh degree of ?ownership? of the reforms. At the same time, criticshave pointed to continued aid dependence, and to limited growth of theimportant agricultural export sector. The contribution of this paper inthis debate is three-fold. First, ?ownership? has not always beenexemplary and is still fragile in some respects. Secondly, although aidhas indeed been important for bringing about high growth, aid dependencehas diminished over time. And thirdly, there have been real supplyresponses from the agricultural export sector.
